I don’t really like how they conducted this. If I was in charge of the study, I would focus on how alone they really are. No contact, whatsoever.

If they’re still making video calls and contacting by phone, they’re not alone because they are accompanying themselves with other people, just remotely.

This study is full of shit.

Aren’t we a little late with that?

And since this is a Dem proposing it, with a Senate-Majority Republican as well as House, it’ll be shot down.

Lemmy itself has been turning into a faucet of Reddit, they either don’t know that yet or they refuse to acknowledge it. Whichever.

I would blame the corruption of journalistic integrity, the overreaching government and how history is written by the winners rhetoric before I ever blame social media as to why society is the way it is. The internet has only amplified it and social media isn’t the internet, it is simply a part of it which is another thing people completely refuse to understand.

That is the way things are now and have been for the bitter part of the past 10 some odd years. Because people’s idiotic behavior has combed it that way. Again, it routes back to people’s behavior that fuels said algorithm.

You know, I’ll embrace any technology piece that isn’t from this shithead or Musk, anyday. Let me know of those alternatives.

I don’t think there really is any other way, without making it incredibly awkward. Can you imagine the scenario? Who would you find? Who would you know is directly responsible for the thing you’ve pirated?

See, there is quite a slope here to go down on when it comes to this very thing. Let me put it into perspective for you.

Pirating movies isn’t really hurting anyone that badly. Usually, actors and actresses are paid six to seven figures a film with lesser-than actors probably getting four to five digits of funds. They’re fine. It’s the greedy, ungrateful and unappreciative executives operating the studios that want more and more.

That’s just an example. A lot of the time, the rights of media content is largely signed over to the networks anyways so it would be a moot point to bother with doing this. I really don’t know what to tell you in regards to this.

I just think it’d be awkward to hunt down almost every individual involved with something you pirated, to directly support them. That’s a lot of lives to sustain and make up for in directly supporting. Not everyone here has bottomless pits of cash laying around, that’s why they sign with record labels and make deals with studios, because they have that kind of pull and money.

Also to consider, maybe some people are against piracy whom you want to support, you don’t know that. You can run into the wrong person, tell them you pirated their material, they could get offended and take you to court for it.

So to wrap it all up - it is not simply worth it. We know who we’re “hurting” and it isn’t the creators. All that they’d ask us to do the most, is appreciate what they’ve done.

I can really see the potential in them. Like, I keep envisioning glasses that analyze what is infront of you, help to magnify, help people with eye issues and plenty of other things.

But, as I’ve see what has been done with VR least with Facebook, is that I can see the technobro applying some dystopia level shit on there. Be prepared to see ads - that you can’t close.

You only read one line in before shilling apple? Lol

95 House Democratic Traitors, more like.

The one who is Trans Rep is the one that tugs me the most here. You now have a motivated group after this assassination, who is now branding your group as ‘terrorist’ and assuming now transgenders are mass-shooters. Yet you’re voting to honor the legacy?

I don’t understand this stance about what integrity and honor that there is, to co-exist with bigoted people like that, who work against your interests. Do you think this is going to alleviate things? No, it won’t. They’ll be calling for your head next, McBride, hope you feel dumb about this.

I don’t get why these kinds of questions are still asked, when it has been the Republican and particularly, Trump’s mission to throw the government in disarray. He’s in it all for himself and everyone is at that expense.

There is nothing that is in it for them, except dismantle everything recklessly, plunge the country into complete internal chaos and then leave any competent administration, if there’s any left, to spend all of their time fixing them if it is possible. Just in time for the chance of another Republican body to come in and do it all again.

There is a lot of risk when it comes to investing. The stock market is a lot of guesswork and sheer gambling in of itself.

$15k to me would be a great savings foundation that will grow overtime.

Visiting Trump is always a waste of time.

So long as corporate and greedy interests exist, we can’t have preservation efforts such as this.

Try archiving and preserving old games not being sold? Nintendo and other video game companies will have a problem. Try archiving and preserving old text books, old books in general? Publishing firms will have a problem. Try archiving and preserving old movies and shows? Hollywood and other networking studios will have a problem. Try archiving and preserving old music? Recording labels will have a problem.

Manties.

Bad:

1. The spread of anti-intellectualism and religious priority on top of crippling free speech will be quite a mess
2. LGBTQ will be the minority of target for where the jews were in the 1930s/1940s. Expecting a 2015 Supreme Court overturn.
3. If the Republicans, any or all of them, lose mid-terms, there will be a wave of “RECOUNT” or “RIGGED” rally cries from their voterbases i.e more riots on their behalf, while proclaiming it was caused by the left.

Just because youtube reviewers say it is good, doesn’t always mean that it is.

Ho boy, these are going to be a long…agonizing…tedious 3.3 years.

No.

Because history remembers people or groups who have made astounding and monumental moments that change the course of history.

They aren’t going to remember a dude who spent most of their time jerking off and doing the average lifestyle.

And why 600 years?

Religion is just marketable propaganda in what to believe, another example of this.
